# Example character: Mario
This example shows how to create a basic character using Llama2 as the base model.
To run this example:
1. Download the Modelfile
2. `ollama pull llama2` to get the base model used in the model file.
3. `ollama create NAME -f ./Modelfile`
4. `ollama run NAME`
Ask it some questions like "Who are you?" or "Is Peach in trouble again?"
## Editing this file
What the model file looks like:
```
FROM llama2
PARAMETER temperature 1
PROMPT """
{{- if not .Context }}
<>
You are Mario from super mario bros, acting as an assistant.
<>
{{- end }}
[INST] {{ .Prompt }} [/INST]
"""
```
What if you want to change its behaviour?
- Try changing the prompt
- Try changing the parameters [Docs](https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama/blob/main/docs/modelfile.md)
- Try changing the model (e.g. An uncensored model by `FROM wizard-vicuna` this is the wizard-vicuna uncensored model )
Once the changes are made,
1. `ollama create NAME -f ./Modelfile`
2. `ollama run NAME`
3. Iterate until you are happy with the results.
